It’s June 14!

Flag Day.

A day to remember when the Continental Congress adopted the design of the American Flag on June 14, 1777. Although Flag Day wasn’t widely recognized as a commemorative day until after the Civil War, the United States (Union) Flag was a celebrated symbol in the North and Union armies during the war and seen as a symbol of reunification after the conflict.

In March 2016, Julie Mujic shared information and and a historic poem about the day the United States flag was raised over Fort Sumter in 1865. Check it out and enjoy some patriotic musings on this special day…
